But for Real Madrid defender that only works as a motivator to catch up

-We're going to fight for the league title right to the end and we expect to be in with a shout.

Action this weekend

-Right now there are two teams on top of their game, Barcelona and Atletico Madrid, but if we keep winning our games we'll put them under a lot of pressure.
